Hi all! I am an American student (junior) looking to complete grad school overseas (cost, being close to my region of study - Turkey, breaking out of the US bubble being major factors). I would like to complete a Master's course in International Relations/Security, preferably immediately following my graduation in 2016.
Here's the catch: I am a Marketing major (minors in PoliSci and Visual Journalism) at a top 50 university. My internship experience is primarily marketing related - I got into IR because I have strong familial connections to the State Department, and when I finally took an IR course and discovered I loved it, it was too late to change my major. Would this be detrimental to my application to overseas schools?
Here's the list I've been compiling, does anyone have any suggestions/thoughts? I have not taken the GRE, and my GPA is around a 3.4 (strong upward trend, shooting for a 3.6 by senior year).
King's College London (KCL): specifically the War Studies Department
London School of Economics (LSE)
St. Andrews
Sciences Po
Thank you!
